Probably would get more help if you posted this in the MacBook pro forum instead of the desktop Mac Pro forum... With that said, my guess I some software is not allowing OSX to shut down properly. I ha the same problem with TuneUp. Whenever it was running and I wanted to shut down or restart it would cause OSX not to shut down. I would then have to force TuneUp to Quit and then would be able to shut down properly.

Either you are not knowledgeable enough to be giving advice, or you're trolling and trying to point out that he's not using the proper device names. He owns a Mid 2010 model 17" model MC024ll/a. That was ascertainable from the information he posted. Tiplenrorth, look at the link that Topper posted a few posts above this one. That's where I would start. Lots of programs can cause this unfortunately.

Run a maintenance utility like Onyx.
Reinstall OS.
Do any of these before throwing away a perfectly good book. Hangs on shutdown are fairly common. Nothing to worry about. A little cleaning is all that should be needed. Unless you are not telling us everything.
